  • Hi - it's Jill here. We take you to the Taj Mahal today to experience it at Sunset and at Sunrise.

     

    The Taj Mahal is an absolutely perfect structure. Amazing to see in detail the amount of work that went into building this monument, and why it took over 16 years to complete. What a love story.

    The following morning we went to the Taj at sunrise. There were far less people and this time we went inside. (Look closely and you can hardle see anyone in the morning photo below).  

    You can see the difference in the color just from these different times of day. The sound; acoustics in there were so beautiful. Our guide tipped one of the monument guards and suddenly a short chant had begun. The echo and acoustics and the length of that one note in that room held was poetic. Needless to say I took a lot of photos and really enjoyed the peacefulness of that morning.

          

    The ornate Marble work and attention to detail really was a tribute to the architecture of this beautiful building. Construction began in 1632 and was completed in approximately 1648.

    Our next voice will take us to Jaipur.
